Brouwerij Eembier is op 18 mei 2006 opgericht. Sinds 2006 brouwt Eembier al haar bieren volgens het Reinheitsgebot. Krachtige hoppige bieren zónder toevoegingen zoals kruiden. Onze Eembieren krijgen alle tijd om rustig te rijpen in de lagertanks. En dat proef je terug in onze smaakvolle bieren!

Sinds mei 2018 heeft brouwerij Eembier haar eigen brouwlocatie,
gelegen naast de haven in het pittoreske vestingstadje Elburg.

Draft at Rootz, Den Haag. Pours a black colour with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, mocha, hops. Flavour is roasty, more coffee, with a good bitterness in the aftertaste. Great Black IPA with Stout-ish tendencies...

Cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nice Lambic funk in the nose. Aroma of barnyard funk, lemony. Flavour is medium sour. Unfortunately, I did not pick up much from the IPA, besides some slight bitterness in the aftertaste. That being said, this is a very nice Lambic.

Aroma of pale malt, hay, grass, light fruit, spicy yeast, hops. Flavour is grassy and yeasty, with a light bitter finish. Palate is a bit thin and watery. Not a success.

Aroma of sweet malts, smoke, peat. Flavour is cloying sweetness to a level that it ruins the beer for me. Too bad.

Aroma of strong biscuity malt and toffee. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Nice venture, not great but I enjoyed this one for its full aroma.

Aroma of malt, caramel, fruits, red berries, herbal notes, hops. Flavour is medium sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Solid body. IPA is a bit of a stretch, more like a hoppy winter ale.

Aroma of malt, caramel, dark fruits, hint of liquorice, hint of hops. Flavour is moderate sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Better than most mega-sweet winter beers.
